About Cox Conserves Heroes

Created in partnership with The Trust for Public Land, Cox Conserves
Heroes is a national awards program that honors and celebrates
environmental volunteers across the country.

How it works

The public nominates volunteers using a brief online form. Next, a panel
of local civic and environmental leaders selects three finalists to be
profiled online. The finalist videos are shared online with the public,
who then vote for the nominee they feel most deserving of the award.
Winning nominees are awareded a $10,000 donation to the nonprofit of
their choosing. Finalists each receive $5,000 for their nonprofit
beneficiaries.

The awards programs is our way of honoring the unsung heroes in our
communities and supporting the local organizations doing the important
work of bettering our environment. Through the program, we hope to
inspire more people to take an active role in community conservation.
